i tried that! unfortunately i think the fairplay thing apple has for all of its products prevented it from converting, because i got...a black screen for an hour and fifty-six minutes, lol. i ended up just finding it on hulu and using aeris's amazing tool to cap it from there, so all's well that ends well i suppose, but...that won't stop me from being salty about apple. but thank you for the suggestion!! you've all been so lovely and beyond helpful to me and i really appreciate it. ♥
